The Challenge
For Lynn Johnson, Senior Project Manager at Capitol Light (Rexel), the estimating workflow had a familiar bottleneck: time.
With an average of 20 projects to quote each month, Lynn was spending 30 minutes to an hour — sometimes even more — on each takeoff, using Bluebeam REVU to mark up plans manually. For complex projects, that time climbed even higher.
The pressure wasn't about bid volume; it was about keeping pace. In a distribution model where customer satisfaction and turnaround speed are the real metrics, every hour spent on a takeoff was an hour not spent delivering value to contractors in the field.
I am saving 50–75% of the time I was typically spending doing takeoffs. I highly recommend the platform. It is incredibly easy to use and an enormous time-saving tool that allows me to get quotes to my customers faster.
